"After the derby win, Milan have been riding a wave of positivity, but some injury news has brought things to a bit of a halt. In midweek, it was suggested that Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic may not be available for this weekend's game. Since then, it has been a waiting game for the Belgian, but the American has already been ruled out."
"It is not all bad news, though, with Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) writing that Saelemaekers will be fit for this weekend's game. He has since trained with the squad, and he will be available for selection. There is no doubt that Pulisic will be absent, but there is one regarding who replaces him. This morning, Gazzetta dello Sport wrote that either Christopher Nkunku or Ruben Loftus-Cheek would start, but it seems that the Frenchman is favoured."
AC Milan will be without Christian Pulisic for the Lazio game. Alexis Saelemaekers trained with the squad and will be available for selection. Christopher Nkunku appears favoured to replace Pulisic after working as a starter in training. Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains a possible alternative for the starting role. Davide Bartesaghi is preferred to Pervis Estupinan following his derby performance, though Estupinan continues to challenge for the position. The derby win has generated positivity around the team, but recent injury concerns have temporarily disrupted momentum ahead of the upcoming fixture.
